Gonorrhea, also known as gonococcal urethritis, gonococcal vaginitis, and willow disease. It is a sexually transmitted disease caused by the proliferation of gonococcal bacteria in the infectious furnace, spreading and spreading along the urinary and reproductive tracts. The disease is mainly transmitted through sexual intercourse between gonorrhea patients and carriers. Secondly, there are indirect infections such as oral sex, anal sex, contact with contaminated secretions from patients, clothing, toilets, towels, bathrooms, etc. Newborns can be infected with gonorrhea in the birth canal. The minimum duration of infection is 1 day, and the maximum duration is 20 days before onset.
What are the first aid methods for gonorrhea infection?
Rest in bed quietly, strictly prohibit sexual activity, drink plenty of water, avoid stimulating food, change underwear, wash hands, wash the external genitalia, and disinfect with boiling or 1:4000 silver nitrate solution.
Patients should be isolated from others, and towels, washbasins, limb basins, etc. should be separated and cannot be shared.
The treatment adopts a single dose of procaine penicillin G1600000 doses, with 800000 doses injected into both gluteal muscles. Patients with allergic reactions to penicillin can be treated with lincomycin and tetracycline instead.
The cure standard is: 1. The clinical symptoms completely disappear. 2. Prostate massage secretion microscopy showed no gonococcal infection and was observed continuously for 4 months. Negative individuals can stop treatment. Otherwise, re treat.
How long is the incubation period for gonorrhea?
In men, the incubation period is 2-14 days. Usually, the disease is caused by mild discomfort of the urethra. A few hours later, there is pain in urination and purulent discharge. When the disease extends to the posterior urethra, the frequency of urination and urgency of urination can see purulent chartreuse urethral discharge, and the urethral orifice is red and swollen.
Gonorrhea in women usually begins to show symptoms from 7 to 12 days after infection. Although the symptoms are generally mild, they can sometimes begin to be severe, with painful urination and frequent discharge. The cervix and deeper organs are the most commonly infected areas, followed by the urethra, rectum, and paraurethral ducts. The cervix becomes red and brittle, accompanied by mucopurulent or purulent secretions.
After the incubation period of gonorrhea, the following discomfort symptoms usually occur:
Frequent urination, urgency, and pain. Often the initial symptoms of the disease. Similar to the common urinary system, inflammation causes the contraction of the urethral sphincter, frequent urination and urgency at night. There is a burning sensation, stinging pain, or burning pain in the anterior urethra, and the pain increases significantly during urination, even radiating towards the lower abdomen or spine.
The urethral opening is red and swollen, with pus discharge. After 12 to 24 hours of infection, the pain slightly alleviated, and thin mucoid secretions began to be excreted in large amounts. After 12 to 24 hours, a large amount of purulent secretions were excreted. After 2-3 days, the pus volume decreases and becomes thick, with the color changing from white to yellow white or yellow brown. After 3-4 days, the pus volume decreases and becomes thick. In the morning, the pus accumulates at the urethral opening, forming a pus film called the mouth. The pain is reduced, and the urethral opening is red and swollen.
